We're back here from to give you guys a live shield as promised to uh put things into perspective, answer the big questions that people ask during the day and uh during the nights and the uh amount of uh anxiety that people have certainly has uh come at least the people that we're connected to that watch our shim has come under control and one common denominator I see is that uh the people that uh usually ask the uh the biggest and most uh uh difficult an uh and anxious questions are the ones that haven't been watching the shim because those of you that have been watching the shim certainly have got many of the answers that you need. Uh tonight we're going to answer a very big question but before that we have to make sure that we uh remind everyone tonight's show is going to be for the format and all of all the righteous no that continue to uh help us with all the wonderful things that the organization is doing whether it's the campaign to help uh the IDF soldiers or it's to help other poor people here in Israel. Uh we're doing as much as we can and working around the clock to uh to get uh get as much content out there, as much merits out there, as much good things out there uh during this time because uh as everyone knows, we need it. We need the merits needs the merits. As a reminder for everyone that's here in Alex is Monday, we're scheduled to have our huge event, our huge kushm event. Uh that is certainly much needed for Israel. Uh anyone that wants to uh contribute and be partners in that uh event uh can go to bhshas.org and you can donate over there. If you want to attend the event, uh you have uh pretty much the next 24 hours to uh let me know uh so we can get you tickets uh and we'll do our best to do that. There's I think a few seats left since it's a there's changes so some people are not able to come but overall there's not much not much available. Uh anyway, with that being said, we have a a and as we always know, of the Torah always gives us the answers for that week's questions. And really the big question today, uh we're going to try to answer a couple of questions. Uh the uh the big question uh that we're going to focus a lot of uh energy on is the question of if akadosh is the one that is controlling everything as we already know. Uh he uh he doesn't need us for anything. He's the one that runs the world. uh the all of the questions that you have about uh God, the creation, uh the uh is is omnipotence, omnipresence, that could be answered in the first chapter of that was written about a thousand years ago. Uh the questions you have and the questions you haven't even thought of are all answered over there. Very deep and a sophisticated uh Torah uh for people that are clever and uh want to know even more answers. But uh since we already know that Bahu is the one that's running the world and he's the one that decides whether someone lives or dies, no one can help you or hurt you. Uh other than uh so that means that when the question is asked of where was God during the Holocaust, the answer is very simple. What do you mean where he was he? He was there. He's the one that did it. Uh there is no separate power from God. Even when the Satan is uh given the uh permission to do his will uh it's as that we've mentioned in the past week uh says in the uh it's still a permission from God. He's still a servant of God. He doesn't have a separate power. We're not uh the uh Christian idol worshippers that think that uh the Satan is a separate power. There's nothing else but God. everyone every one of the angels is his servant. So the this this begs the question of if he's the one that uh or since he's the one that sent these terrorist monsters to attack us, why would he punish them? Because I mean, if you're saying that God controls everything and God in essence allow these monsters to do what they've wanted to do and what they continue wanting to do, then why would he punish them? The second question if we uh have the uh the time and the ability to do is uh does uh it's something that I discussed earlier today in a different sher that I did in Hebrew uh which is that uh you know a lot of the nonsense that's being said out there as usual uh the people tried to pacify themselves in the public by uh turning every sinner into a sadic you know because he died. And does that really happen? Is someone that uh was living a sinful life and then died uh even because he's Jewish? Does that turn the person into a uh into a tadic? Is he uh is he someone that uh you now have to maybe if you're going to go to his grave and start praying over there for for his merits like you would if you go to the of course people are going to say and they're going to complain and they're going to uh attack and say no what are you doing how could you be uh you know on is right now don't take that into account you you know, the uh all of those people that were desecrating God's name and the holiday and Shabbat and dancing around the idol and uh being anti- Torah in some cases. Uh they are kadoshim now. They're all holy. So uh this is this is not the time to be a prosecutor against them. And to them we answer exactly what my dear Rav Ephraim has uh said and what our Rosh Kohl has said and that he did uh last week. These are fools. It doesn't matter who said it. They're simply fools by simply turning people into sadikim. Uh you have acted as if you are God. And it's important for us to know that although shalom we're not looking to be a prosecutor against people and uh we're certainly uh praying for them and want them to have merits and I can assure you they want us to tell the truth about the Torah and not pacify the world like many people do. uh they want us to uh do uh to do this and that's also why the shim and the increased number of shuim in videos have also been to their merit uh to increase their merits to to to bring them more mercy. But uh there's a uh big difference between someone that uh uh died al kadushem because of the Torah that he uh that he learned and publicized versus someone that died because he's Jewish. Uh and more importantly there is a very big difference between pacifying the public in order to make people uh think that uh you know this uh uh everything is okay to simply educating the public to letting them know that uh everything is not okay. Uh but that certainly is better than what some people think. So, with that being said, we're going to go into our holy Torah and make sure that people understand that we're uh you know, bringing you the words of the living God. Uh and uh it's important for a person to know that uh everything that I'm telling you is countless sources. It's not something that we're inventing. It's not my opinion. If it was up to me, uh probably the uh Ganed Eden would be full of everyone, but then it would turn into gehenn uh simply because uh the the righteous people don't want the wicked people there. So uh that's why Hashem did not give me the position of putting uh people in Ganed. But needless to say, we have to make sure that people know what it takes what it takes to get there. So in we're going to find those answers. We are introduced to Abrau as we've already discussed earlier this week. Abrainu is he's the man of God. He is uh has an extraordinary amount of tests, trials and tribulations unlike any other. Uh literally goes from difficulty to difficulty. Even after Hashem tells him to leave uh uh uh his his home and go to Israel, the promised land, he gets there and he meets at famine. After he leaves over there, he uh he goes to Egypt. On the way to Egypt, a bunch of people make fun of him that uh at the inn that he stays that he's even following the word of God and he's losing everything. He doesn't have even money to pay for the inn. He gets to Egypt. His wife gets uh kidnapped by uh by Kamas, I mean by uh Po, the the forefather of Kamas. Uh the uh after that he leaves over there with a bunch of money and he lets everybody know that here I'm paying you back the money and I'm also paying you back your questions that you had about God. See make sure that I have everything that I need but there's trials and tribulations. But this if this was the last test uh it would be a wonderful uh uh short story but it's not. This is just the beginning of more tests as we know that his uh nephew uh lot leaves him goes to do and then we are faced with a war and this war is no simple war goes and fights the war uh and uh he's uh after the uh uh king of king of Amra who inside their names we already know how evil they were they lost the war initially the king of Zum is Bah and uh the king of Amur is Bsha so B is an evil and uh Bsha is in in wickedness that was actually their names uh and uh we see that didn't have any merits to uh to win the war but had plenty of merits plenty of merits to win the war and uh that's actually what happens and that's what happens and After that, the king of tells Ainu that he could take all the money and says, "No, I'm not even going to have a shoelace." So, you don't ever think that you're the one that enriched me in any way. And actually, the uh Ramban over there says that Abrau actually was telling the king of that if I take anything from you, uh I will actually be punished. I'll actually be punished. Why? Because when I went into this war, I prayed to help me and to make uh to to to to make the impossible possible. In so many words, I knew that there's no way that I can win this war. But uh for the sake of his name, for the honor of his name, I want to win the war. Why should the uh why should the monsters celebrate our downfall? Uh and Hashem made the miracle. So since that I don't want any personal benefit from it. This also is a uh place where uh we learned that in the beginning of the par where it says that in made many souls meaning they converted many people to follow Hashem and abandon idolatry. The zad says over there how did they do it? They taught them about gum. They taught them about punishment and what was going to happen to them if they continue in their idolatrous and heretical ways. That's how taught Torah. He taught people about reward and punishment. So today you don't necessarily see many people teaching about reward and punishment. You see them teaching about things that uh some of them are important and uh you know and good like and but sometimes you see people literally intentionally steer away from the truth and just simply decide that everyone is either already righteous enough or everyone is simply spiritually uh they call them tininochba I uh captured babies since they weren't educated in uh in in Torah and and so therefore they're incapable of doing anything. So they're not judged accordingly. I have a whole sh about this whole it's uh literally uh once you hear the sources and what's actually the truth about you'll realize that you are surrounded right now. In fact, the Jewish world is infested infested with liars that uh you know average day on a regular basis you want to call those it's just simply lying to yourself and the public and it's also causing people to uh lose the urgency in doing cha uh and uh furthermore the uh the whole understanding and quite frankly I think that many of these uh people that say that everyone is a tininoishbah even if they so call themselves kabalists you know anyone can put a few words a few letters next to their name and decide what title they have it doesn't actually mean anything uh you know a cabalist don't call themselves kabalist I can just tell you that from knowing a few but the point being is is that the uh uh they say that uh you know listen they're not judged this is completely false Because is simply anic term of what you have for someone that's still alive. It has nothing to do with afterlife. It's simply aic term that you apply to someone that's still alive of how you treat this person while they're in this world. Meaning if someone is a uh you know religious you know and then he abandons the Torah and then he uh decides to you know he violates Shabbat and so on. Obviously this is not a this is not a captured baby. If he does sins it's he gets punished full force. If he touches your wine you can't drink it. If he uh wants to be a witness in your wedding and you allow him to then the wedding is uh not valid simply because he's not a kosher witness. he can't be used as a witness in a Jewish uh uh ceremony and so on and so forth. Meaning this person is a considered as if he's 100% idol worshipperba realiz and I happened to meet you know at least one that I know for sure was a tininoishba until she wasn't cuz she was uh you know almost 80 years old when she discovered she's even Jewish. So obviously she didn't know she was Jewish. She's the perfect definition of a tininoishba. There's not not many people like that that don't know they're Jewish until they're very very old. But the point is she only discovered she's Jewish that when she was almost 80 years old. Therefore, she didn't even know anything about mitzvot anything about dua her whole life. So she fit the definition. Now of course she started doing cha she's already doing cha for a few years already a miracle story of its own. But the point being is that this person, if let's say somebody else uh knew that she didn't know and it was just the beginning and she touched the wine before she started keeping Shabbat, before she uh started keeping any mitzvot, she discovered she's Jewish and she came over to your house and she touched your uncooked wine. If she was that person that abandoned the ways, you would have to throw out the wine. But because she's a tininoish, you don't have to throw out the wine. Now, you still can't use her for a Jewish ceremony. Uh, even if it was a male, you can't use him for a Jewish ceremony. But because sheba, the wine doesn't turn into into wine of idolatry. That's it. That's what means doesn't mean that this person was clueless. Doesn't know that he's even Jewish or he better yet, he knows that he's Jewish, but he was not educated about Torah at all. He lived in some kibuts. He uh lived in a lefty liberal household and uh and died that way and now because he's going to heaven withu. No, it doesn't mean that it's complete. Whoever whoever tells you that everyone that's uh you know they have you don't have to worry about it. If they die, don't worry. Everything's okay. They're going straight to heaven. This is a complete lie. There's not a single pekk in the history of that will ever tell you such a thing. Because there are two things that are required to go to heaven. Number one, the sins have to be cleaned and even if a sin is unknown to a person, there's still filth on the n which has to be cleaned. Two, there has to be mitzvot. You can't go to heaven with no mit. If you had been eating pig your whole life, never said a single blessing in your life, don't even know what is, how are you going to get an entrance tickets to to to gidden? And therefore, anyone that actually uh uh uh thinks about this for more than a minute rather than just listens to the puppets that pretend to be rabbis and speakers out there calling the whole worldb understand there is literally not an ounce of truth to this. But you're still going to hear more and more of this, even more so right now because many people that were not religious uh have been murdered, massacred by these evil monsters that are the Palestinians that uh also have a division called Hamas. But anyone that uh still thinks that there's a real uh tangible separation between the two is sleeping under the uh under a rock. Because when you see how much these Palestinians were celebrating uh the civilians were celebrating about the murder of Jews, you see how much they're celebrating and cheering for more murder uh the around the world and in Gaza for more murder of Jews. You see that there's no difference between a civilian and the one that's carrying the actual bomb or or whatever other weapon uh of choice these monsters have. Point being is because many people died, many people were murdered, it does not turn everyone into a sadik. Just like used to say just because one of your parents died doesn't make you a because everyone wants to bean as soon as they uh their their parents die uh because it's a merit for for their parents. But if you don't know how to be a kazan, you can't bean. If you're still not a kosher Jew, you can't be a kazan. Just because a parent died doesn't make you a kazan. So we have to call things at face value and not pretend to uh to to restart or reinvent the Torah. There's no reinventing the Torah. Torah doesn't change. So now Rabai with the uh with that particular question to just since simply since we're already on it before we even get to the bigger question which is what happens to the enemies? What happens to these these these uh these evil monsters that murdered our brothers and sisters? uh whether religious or not, there's still our brothers and sisters that we're responsible for and we're going to pray for and we're going to do everything we possibly can to uh to bring more merit to is so there's less people that are uh you know in the same circumstance spiritually but uh before we address that uh question we have to see what's what is it really count what happens so as I mentioned in a shore in detail with many many uh sources is back uh when there was the Pittsburgh massacre in the United States. You can go to that shor uh and go through the details. Someone that dies because they're Jewish is considered augal. Aug means that they uh they uh they died because of their Judaism. It's not in the highest level like dying on kushem, but it's still a very high level of uh uh of uh um uh um what is it called? Uh it's an atonement for many of their sins. Uh certainly it is a uh better for a person that is desecrating God's name on a regular basis to die this way than continue living spiritually speaking. uh you know because that way they've stopped the sins and they've wiped out a whole lot of them uh those sins that are related to that uh uh to that death. It's not simply you know a uh um erasing every single thing because if the person was an idol worshipper, if the person was a uh causes the public to sin, the person was an evil monster uh and he died because he's Jewish, it doesn't turn him into some sadic that you're going to go pray at his grave site. Uh with all due respect to all those that got murdered, it's important for people to understand we cannot change the Torah. Uh but we but we do have a understanding that there is an extraordinary benefit for those poor people that died uh and uh because of and even their families because that savage that uh murdered them actually atone caused them atonement for many of their sins and uh puts them in a very high caliber and uh you know as far as a soul is concerned once there certain sins that are still remaining are cleaned off. Now, how are those things going to be cleaned off? It could be reincarnation. It could be a lot of different things. The depth of judgment is only known to point being is it's a uh a person needs to understand if you want to go to heaven, you have to make less sins and do more mitzvot. If a person is not going to do mitzvot simply put heaven becomes simply a uh a some type of uh fairy tale. Uh so but again if a gives a person the merit uh to die on kushem uh it's certainly a uh an extraordinary thing that even shalom prayed for his whole life. uh and uh he didn't die in he lived on but and we talked about this extensively last night. So with that being answered again uh we're going to go into the big question. It's a philosophical question a little bit which is that since is the one and only that decides who lives and who dies, how everybody dies, uh who's going to attend a funeral, uh what kind of suffering a person is going to have uh during their life, during their death. Everything and anything that you have in this world is decided by so he's the one that decided to allow these monsters to literally uh have a uh an evil miracle. There are times the Torah tells us that makes evil miracles meaning that he makes miracles for the evil people because of the sins of amarly three weeks ago now. And uh we saw it happen in a uh horrific way. And of course there are uh also natural explanations uh uh that uh are going to come out at some point. You know whether it was a treason or it was a uh you know failure, systemic failure. All of those things you could explain and I'm sure people are going to delve into it for many many years. But the point being is who allowed all of this to happen? Who allowed it to happen? Who allowed the Holocaust to happen? Who allowed the Holocaust to happen? Uh why? Just like he promised in the Torah that he is the uh judge. He has a law and uh when we forsake that law eventually he punishes. Now what happens to those that uh he uses to punish I mean technically he chose them to to punish. So we don't have to go very far. We don't have to go very far to get at least the basic part of the answer. And then we're going to go a little far to get more details of what happens after. We see that after the war, after wins the war, the covenant between andu the benetim brings us extraordinary uh uh prophecies of the future. and in fact prophecies we don't want to miss. So pay attention and you'll see what transpires here. says to Ainu, "Fear not, my word is the source of strength for you and your reward is very great." And Aam responds with a complete clarity of where he stands. He asks Hashem, "What can you give me being that I go childless?" And then administrator meaning alz that is uh in my house is alz of of damascus of the mishik. Then says, "See to me you have not you have given no offspring." And says to him, is not going to inherit you. You're going to have a son. In fact, you're going to have even more than that. And he took him outside and he said, "Gaze now towards the heavens and count the stars if you're able to count them." And he said to him, "So shall be your descendants." The say that at this moment took physically took and lifted him into outer space. Lifted him into outer space. Obviously gave him the ability to see everything from one end of the world to the other end of the world. And still was not able to see how many stars and and the extraordinary magnitude of the creation. And this is doing for the sake of showing how much he loves him. And trusted the word of hem and was rewarded for this. Why? And Hashem considered his trust in the that had in him his righteousness. Meaning that having having confidence in is a mitzvah of its own. And after this tells that it's time to make a special covenant between and it's called benarim where has to bring three calves, three goats, three rams, a turtle dove and a young dove. The rams, the goats and the calves have to be cut in half. Not the traditional slaughter that they would do at the beta mikdash. A special fire went through them. The turtle doves are not cut in half. In fact, something unusual happens or at least seems unusual. If you look at the verses where it says in chapter 15, verse number 11, Birds of prey descended upon the carcasses, meaning these animals that was sacrificing or doing this covenant with birds of prey descended upon the carcasses and drove them away. Seems like a superfluous uh verse. We don't have these types of verses anywhere else in the Torah. But here we have it. Birds of prey came to take the carcasses but shoot them away. Here the tell us that this has to do with the future. This is actually a prophecy of the future. of Msiah and how until the end, the official end, you have to hold on to everything very closely. You have to hold on to everything closely until the Messiah Ben Davidid arrives. And furthermore, after this happens, we see that Abraham falls into a deep sleep falls upon and behold a terror of immense darkness falls upon him. Here Rashi tells us this is a hint about not just the prophecy at hand that is telling us about the Torah is telling us about which is the exile that uh the the uh that we're going to have in I'm sorry the uh uh servitude in Egypt that his descendants are going to have which Hashem tells them about that they're going to be servants to the Egyptians for 400 years which the uh the clock starts at the birth of uh of its and uh they're going to uh suffer there and so on. But also Rashi says over there that this deep sleep and a terror that uh that's being discussed here is really a hint about the tribulations of darkness that will happen during the exile at the end of days. Meaning that the end of days before Mashiach comes is going to be a dark time. A dark time when Israel is going to be surrounded by enemies. Israel is going to be terrorized from within and without. And only those that hold on to their covenant with very strongly will be able to survive. And now we have our last part which is to get the first part of our answer of what happens to these evil monsters. Because is telling of not just the prophecy of the end of days but rather the prophecy of his times which if it answers for one it answers for the other that the enemy is going to enslave them and will oppress them for 400 years. the nightmare that is the Is at the time had to endure is worse than anyone can possibly imagine. Unless you read the Midashim and see what happened to Am, you simply cannot imagine the things they had to go through. And Hashem is showing him this. And of course, Hashem already chose to have the Egyptians be the ones that torment, oppress, and enslave am. He chose them. So if he chose them, why would he punish them? But says, "But that nation that will enslave them, I will judge them with severe punishments and afterwards your descendants will leave with vast wealth." See here we see the answer to the question where we still don't have the ultimate answer of why but we see that although Hashem is the one that chooses who is going to be Israel's enemies who is going to be allowed to uh better said not who's going to be the enemy cuz that's a choice of a person but uh who is going to which enemy that chose to be an enemy of Israel. Which enemy is going to be permitted to be the stick that hits Hashem's people? To be the one that torments them, that tortures them, that terrorizes them, that breaks through the border and does the most heinous crimes to humanity in the last 80 years. Hashem allows them to do it, but he will punish them for it. Why will he punish them for it? says evaluates the actions of a person. And if the person has done good things, he has earned merits. And because he earned merits, the Mishn says the reward for a mitzvah is another mitzvah. because he has merits. Hashem when he wants to bring more merits to the world, more good things to the world, he will bring it through his hands, through her hands. So he wanted to teach Torah and he started teaching just one person and Hashem sees, oh look, he taught one person and he's teaching them the truth even though the truth is sometimes hard to tell. and hard to hear. So, you know what? I'll send him another person because that other person wants to learn Tawa. So, I'll send that other person to him also. And he sees that he's teaching that other person the truth also. He says, "Oh, he's continuing. So, I'll send him another person." And before you know it, if this person continues to teach the right way, Hashem continues to send him more merits because with each student that he's teaching the truth and get him to do Chuva, that means that is signing off to give this person another 310 worlds. He gets an enormous reward even bigger than the one that did Chuva. He becomes partners with God on creating this person. The person that did Chuva is great. He's in a perfect he went from being destined to go to Gome to go to Ganed. He's in great shape. But the person that helped him go and do chuva either by giving him a USB or by inviting him to a lecture or by teaching him or by donating for the sake of be somebody else being able to teach him whatever it is you are involved in getting this person to do cha you actually end up getting even a bigger award than the person that did cha as says greater is the one that does than the greater is the one that enables someone to do than the one that actually does. So the person that is teaching is doing good things. Hashem rewards him by giving him opportunities to do even more good things. But says to the that's the second half that also gives opportunities to sin, opportunities to cause damage, opportunities to murder, to rape, to to terrorize, to those that already have obligations. What's obligations? They already have sins. They already have sins. They're sinful people. They already do bad things. They already desecrate God's name. They already do horrible things. They already kill. They already uh lie. They already cheat. They already do bad things. And they desire to do more bad things. Hashem says the reward for a mitzvah is another mitzvah. The reward, if you will, for a sin is another sin. You want to do bad things, I will allow you to do bad things. And therefore gives the evil people that already hate that already hate the Torah that already hate the truth opportunities to cause damage to Is when he decides that it's time to do that. So although he's the one that decides when it's going to happen, he's the one that decides by who is going to happen. He doesn't just choose anyone randomly. He chooses someone that already wants to do it. He chooses someone that already wants to do it. Someone that's already evil. Someone that's already bad. And therefore, what tells the Egyptians are going to torment your descendants. But don't worry, I'm going to judge them. That's why he judges them. Because even though he chose that, he allowed them to torment Am they wanted to do it. They were already doing it to their own people. They were already doing evil things. Therefore, they deserve more evil things. And this answers the first part of the question of why chooses certain people and what he does with them. They could say Allahbar as much as they want, but in reality, every time they say Allahbar to try to show their faith, their actions contradict their faith. Because only an evil god would want to kill his own people. Only an evil god would want the people celebrating the murder of people. And this is what you see in in the Palestinian uh uh supports and the Palestinian protest and the community in Gaza over there and all these different Arab countries. You see the people are celebrating and cheering and and and making fun of the Jews and and saying thank God. Only an evil God would be in support of such a thing. Hashem allows it because there's reward and punishment. But the fact that they're cheering for it, they're earning even a bigger punishment for what their actions are. Anyone that cheered against Israel, anyone that supported the death of Am will be punished alongside with the ones that actually killed Am. Now, what's eventually going to happen to these people? What's eventually going to happen to those people that choose to go against Is that choose to say bad things about AmI is that choose to even kill Is what's going to happen to them? Because we already know that Hashem is not in favor of their actions. Even though they say their actions contradict it and teach us that since their actions contradict their uh their words of saying God is great, then that means that they don't believe in God the right way. It's a heretical belief. And therefore, even their honoring of God is not rewarded. They won't even get rewarded for that. They'll get punished for it. So we have to go to a prophet that perhaps we haven't discussed before the prophet and theak says on the prophet who was at the time of the king man and since the king man for a period of his life was very wicked he's not mentioned in the book of nah Uh but uh the uh the tradition tells us in that uh was at the time of King uh King Mina. And the says that this is a different type of prophecy than the others because this prophecy was critical towards Ninve of the nation of Ashu of how they're going to get punished for what they did to Am. But the is unlike the other the other prophets because while the other prophets usually start off with something nice, some type of blessing, some type of you know uh announcement. They all have rebukes in them. That was the job of the of the prophets. That's why someone that teaches am is the truth is considered like a prophet. He's obviously not a prophet. Doesn't talk to God. If you say you're a prophet and you're not really a prophet, you're you say a false prophecy. It's a death penalty. But the uh the word prophet comes from Nave comes from the word nat someone is a speaker. So all of the prophets rebuked Israel. But usually the prophecies, the books of the of of the prophets start with, you know, some good news, a blessing. Hashem says, "I love you." You know, all types of things like that. The prophet right off the bat, one power punch after another, and it literally gets horrible right off the bat. In fact, something unique happens here where the tells us in that although we had over 1.2 million prophets throughout AmI's history, only 55 are mentioned in the Tanakh because all of the prophecies that they mentioned, those 55 mentioned are relevant to every generation. So even though this prophecy of is initially about ninve of of the of it's needless to say that this is in relation to us right now. It's relation to us right now. And the more a person learns the book of literally it's like you're going to have your own personal prophecy of the coming future. And the prophecy starts with the prophecy regarding Ninve, the book of the vision of theitem. It says, "Hashem is a jealous and vengeful God. Hashem is a vengeful and full of wrath. Hashem is vengeful to his adversaries and reserves hostility for his enemies." This is the second verse in the book of where does something unique here where we know already from the book of Genesis that the v is Hashem's attribute of mercy and the word elohim is hashem's attribute of judgment. So when it says in the first verse of the Torah, we know that Hashem initially created the world with judgment. But since he saw that the world cannot survive if there's just judgment where as soon as a person sins, he dies. He brought the attribute of mercy which is expressed through the name the the youth cave of cave tachan. So usually in the Torah anytime Hashem is blessing us he uses the anytime there's punishment like in oru or any other other par where there's punishment then it uses the elohim but here it's the opposite. Here hashem says he's a jealous and vengeful god. He's vengeful and full of wrath. He's vengeful to his adversaries and reserves hostility for his enemies. So here it's full force. Hashem is going to take revenge against these sinners. And the wrath is unlimited beyond any comprehension that someone has even if they saw the gay film 30 times because the real wrath is even worse than the film. But this is being expressed through Hashem's attribute of mercy. Why is that? The teach that just like there are times where can make an evil miracle where he makes a miracle for the evil people that uses the the attribute of mercy can actually turn that to be a promise of vengeance and punishment and use the attribute of mercy for the sake of judgment after the wicked people have done such evil that's beyond what was uh you know the norm. So here we seek saying that at the end of days the enemies of Israel are not just going to get punished but these kamasniks these filthy animals they're going to have such a punishment for what they've done that there's going to Not even an ounce of mercy on them. Meaning that even the attribute of mercy will punish them. And all of the enemies of Islam, all of those that protested against Isel, all of those that uh you know said uh and and contributed to the murder of AmI all of those enemies of the Torah. The prophet says that even the the attribute of mercy will be used to punish them. And furthermore, the next verse says something very powerful where it says, "Hashem Adonai Hashem is slow to anger, but he has great power and he will not ab absolve iniquity. Hashem, his path is in a storm and in a tempest and clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry and and makes all the rivers parched. So what is what is what is the meaning of all this? Hashem's greatness One of the ways that it's expressed is his patience that he doesn't punish his enemies, his people's enemies, which are his enemies, the wicked people. He doesn't punish them right away. But also that just because he doesn't have punished them that way, that is by no means absolving them of the crime. Because while a person thinks, "Oh, look, this guy sinned. He sins on a regular basis and looks like he has a decent life. He's got some money. He's got reputation. He's got this. He's got that. Looks like uh God skipping over him. He's not punishing him. Look, these enemies, they murdered, they raped, they did this, they that all horrible things. Look, doesn't look like uh they're being punished. Hashem says, "One of the ways that I show you my greatness is that I don't act like you. Where when someone cuts you off in the highway, immediately you get angry and you want to punish the person. Where when somebody says something to you and disrespects you, you immediately want to punish this person. And sometimes you do." Says, "We're nothing alike." Why says I have no uh no reason to be in a hurry because his life how long is he going to be here? 20 years, 50 years, 100 years. I'm I'm here forever. So if I don't punish him now, I could punish him tomorrow. I could punish him next week. I could punish him in 20 years from now. I could punish him 50 years from now. I could punish him in the next carnation. Bring him back to the world just to punish him, make him born, build himself up, get to the top of his game just to crush him. I could do a lot of things. There's no reason for me to hurry to punish him. And Hashem has patience. And that's one of the ways that his greatness is expressed that people could literally do the worst possible things like curse Hashem's name and defile it and serve an idol and and make some type of man god or or kill his own children in his name like these monsters do. Shem says I don't have to punish them right away. I can wait. And Hashem has patience. But don't ever have a mistake that to think that just because he doesn't punish right away, that's because he he's not going to punish them. That's because he deleted that sin. No, no, no, no. As the verse says that Hashem is vengeful. Hashem is has full of wrath and he reserves hostility for his enemies but he's slow to anger and he has great power. This slow to anger part is a great power but he will not absolve the sins. Anyone that says that Hashem absolves his sins and just simply doesn't count them. Just because this guy didn't get a yeshiva education, therefore he could do whatever he wants. Just because this girl are uh our parents weren't the greatest parents, she's allowed to walk around like a prostitute. Just because this guy is uh had a tough argument with his wife, therefore he's allowed to cheat on her. just because she is unhappy with her husband, therefore she's allowed to uh watch pornography. Anyone that says it stinks that Hashem is not going to punish each and every one of those examples. Hashem punishes that person double. One for the fact that you distorted the Torah and two for the even thinking that Hashem is not going to punish. That's what the says. So to say that people are not going to get punished despite their sins is the opposite of the Torah and 100% heretical. And that's exactly what is saying here. His enemies will ultimately be punished. The fact that they're not punished right away, that's because of Hashem's greatness. And even more so gives us examples. One of the examples is Tus tells us about how Titus comes to the betash, desecrates it and declares war not just against the Jewish people but against God. He goes into the kures kuresim and he does an awful disgusting act inside it with a prostitute and he thinks that he killed God because when he stabbed the uh the curtain, Hashem made blood come out of it. So he thought that he killed God. So after that, Titus was proud of himself, gathered all of the kaleim of the beta mikdash, which as a side note, there's been some articles that some people sent me in the last 24 hours saying that the Catholic Church are uh interested in returning those uh everything they stole from us from the beta mikdash. Uh and uh anyone that actually believes this is going to happen is very gullible. Maybe maybe they'll return some things, but to return everything, it's too hard to believe. Too hard to believe that such a thing would happen before Mashia comes for many reasons. Perhaps we'll discuss them one day. But uh to actually think that's the they're really going to return everything I believe is uh very very gullible of people. Anyway, and I have reasons to say that. I'm not just saying it just because there's a very long history of uh those kim they stole and their denial of it and the people that were killed over it. So it's it's not it's not just a simple oh we just discovered it in the basement you could have it back. No but all of these kim they got who took them? Titus. Titus took them. There's even a monument in Rome showing how they stole the manora and the Jews, they made them into slaves over there. The Jews built the coliseum. They built that monument. All of those pictures that you see, the statues you see there of slaves, those are all Jews. Anyway, Titus was on a boat, the Garas says, and Hashem brought a very strong wind that was shaking the ocean and the boat of Titus. And Titus in his arrogance and stupidity said, "Oh, this God can only fight in the water because that's how he destroyed the world at the time of Noah." which actually shows that Titus despite the fact he was an idol worshipper and a piece of garbage he knew what the Torah said unlike many people today said oh you can only destroy the world with water like uh so he's the god of water fight me on land and a but call came from Shamim and said Rasha wicked son of wicked I'm going to fight you not one-on-one. I'll send you my smallest creation. My smallest creation that's so small that it doesn't even excrete whatever it consumes. The net. Smallest creation that the human eye can see, the naked eye could see. And as soon as Titus got off the boat, it's a big celebration at the time. He's as happy as can be. And a tiny little gnat goes into his nostril and by pure miracle survives the journey from his nostril all the way to his brain and eats up his brain for the next seven years. Obviously, you don't have to worry about next time that you're out there in the field, you're running, and some uh bug flies into your nose or your mouth or your eye or something like that, don't have to worry about them eating your brain. Uh because for such a thing to happen, there has to be a whole series series of miracles that Hashem has to make. In order for such a thing to happen, and unless you're as evil as Titus, you don't have to worry about it. But the point being is that we see that is showing his greatness by showing his patience. It's Titus that did this horrible things inside the bet mikdash inside the keshim. If it was a human being that punished him, he will punish him right there and then. And if not then, as soon as he was on a boat and he was mouththing off, saying stupid things. And if not on the boat, right as soon as he got down would be something more gruesome and on the spot like a lion eats him or something or somebody else kills him and he dead on the spot. Says, "No, no, no. Have patience. I don't punish him right away. No, no, no. To show his greatness in patience, but also his greatness in wrath. Kadoshu kills him in the most gruesome, slow, horrific way possible where a knat goes into his head and eats his brain every single day, tormenting him, making sounds to the point where Titus was going crazy. He had all types of people making noise to try to uh scare this gnat that's in his head. cuz he hears it non-stop. It's a whole story in itself. Eventually, he's so he's suffering so much that he says, "You have to do a surgery and cut open my head to take this thing out." And of course, he died during that surgery. And they took out a net that was no longer looking like a net. It looked like a small bird. See here shows us an example in real life of a famous figure that was an enemy of am well known throughout history and shows us how his wrath and his patience are expressed at the same time. Furthermore, the verse says it says that he rebukes the um his path is in a storm and in a tempest. What does that mean? That's his way in a storm. What is his way? Fine taught me today something unbelievable to really understand it says Hashem's greatness is so extraordinary that he's telling you here that when the time comes that Hashem has to punish somebody and the wrath has to come says I don't even have to change my ways to do it. Meaning, I don't have to make a miracle or go out of my way to do it. I use what's already there. And what's an example? Says that there was a powerful king that conquered the world named Sanhib. He had 185,000 battalions, each one with many, many people, literally tens of millions of soldiers on their way coming to Yusha. The kingo, who I already told you about this part of the story earlier this week, so I won't go into the same details. I'll just give you the new stuff. The king was a righteous king says that Hashem nearly made him mashiach and he nearly made go. But was righteous and said, "God, you said that if we learn to teach Torah, publicize, you're going to fight our wars. So you go fight him. I'm going to sleep." And we know that Malik killed all of those soldiers. So what's the new thing the says says to Gabriel Gabrielle today you're scheduled to go down there to sweet because your job is to sweeten all the fruits to make all the fruits sweet for people want to eat them you want an apple you don't to taste like sand. You don't want it to taste like dirt. You want it to taste sweet. So is the one that has that role to make the fruit sweet because there's no such thing as a creation living by itself. Even the says every grass, every little strand of grass has an angel telling it to grow each day. Every grass has an angel telling it to grow. Just imagine how many servants has imagine how many servants. And says to his servant you're scheduled to go down to sweeten the fruits today. So on your way, since you're already going down there, take care of this little thing over there. this this and his tens of millions of soldiers that want to come kill my children. Take care of them also. Take care of that and his children. And Gabriel on his way to swing the fruits in his big hands takes all of the of millions of soldiers that wanted to kill is in a single instant only leaving three people alive and his two sons and his two sons ended up killing Sar anyway when they found out that he wanted to sacrifice them for his uh for his idol which was actually the um one of the uh pieces of the uh the ark of Noah. He figured that since it's around for so many thousands of years that it must be a god of some kind. Obviously, he's a for thinking such a thing. But there are other stupid people in the world today even that think all types of things that are similar. Point being isadu tells us over here that when the wrath the vengeance there's something that's immeasurable even in our mind and even in our deepest imagination when that wrath comes Hashem says I don't have to even change anything I don't have to change anything was already scheduled to come down to sweeten the fruits So while you're sweating the fruits, take care of these tens of millions of people. That's a small example of the greatness of God when you really think about it. Why don't you just make another angel or tell another angel to go do it? You have endless amount of angels. Just send another angel to go kill son Khiv and his and all these soldiers. Shm says for what? Why do I have to do why? I already have somebody going down there. Let them do that too. It's a small job. What is it? 20 30 40 50 million 100 million soldiers. What's the big deal? What's the problem? Why do I have to send another angel? He's already going down there to sweeten the fruits. Anyone that really thinks about that immediately should should be should literally should have some fear in him, understanding how great Hashem is. Understanding the magnitude of this God that we serve each and every day, that we have the privilege of serving each and every day, that we have the privilege to pray to every single day. He doesn't even have to change anything in order to bring this. Everything continues. What? You want to add another job? What is it? Destroy 2 million kamasnik. No problem. You don't even need a plane. You don't even need a plane. You don't need a bomb. You don't need soldiers. Just need a says, "Yeah, I have somebody over there. I have somebody that's scheduled to go down there tomorrow. I can take care of it. What's the problem? I don't have to send anybody new. I don't have to make a supernatural miracle. There's already somebody I'm sending over there anyway for some other reason. So, I'm just tell just those 2 million. They don't want to leave. Okay. So, the bodies don't want to leave. So, we'll have the body stay there permanently. We're not moving though. We're not having the ability to shoot any more rockets and use people as human shields. What? But they have a few friends in the West Bank, in Iran, in all these other enemy countries. They're all green on the map. They like the color green. We can tell them in the grass. What's the problem? We don't have to send any We don't even have to send any new angels to do it. They're all on the way anyway. There's angels everywhere. They're on the way. Some is to sweeten the fruits. Some is to grow the grass. A lot of different reasons. Just tell one of them, listen in Iran, your job today is not only that, but also make sure take a couple million of them away. Make it fun. Make it like an earthquake. Swallow them like kak. Maybe they'll still scream while they're in g how much they hate. Because the way you are in this world is the way you are even while you're suffering. Becomes in embedded into the wicked people says I don't have to change anything. I don't have to change anything in order to show you my wrath in order to bring that vengeance on my enemies. He doesn't have to do anything doesn't have to do anything. The world is so tiny that he doesn't have to do anything. Now, of course, the wicked, the wicked complain, they do evil and then they complain that they get punished. As excuse me, as says, The stupidity of man causes him to sin against God and then he complains against God for punishing him. So Hashem says he rebukes the sea and makes it dry. He makes all the rivers parched. Bashan and Kamel become devastated and the flowers of Lebanon become devastated. Mountains quake because of him and the hills melt. The earth smolders from before him. [clears throat] The world and all who dwell in it? Who can stand before his fury? And who can rise against his burning wrath? His wrath is poured out like fire and rocks become shattered because of him. Hashem is beneficent, a stronghold on a day of distress and mindful of those who take refuge in him. With a sweeping flood, he puts an end to its place and he pursues his enemies with darkness. What can you devise against Hashem? He is making an end of you. Misfortune will not arise twice. While they are still like the tangled thorns and while they are drunk in their swelling, they will be consumed like fully like fully grown dried straw from you has come forth a platter of evil against Hashem, a lawless counselor. promises all of his enemies regardless of their background and needless to say the enemies of his people which are the enemies of God. You may celebrate because I have patience. You may show the world all of those evil opinions that you have because I have patience. You can do whatever evil that you want to do because I have patience. But eventually the wrath of will come down upon you and there will be no one to save you. And the wrath is not like the wrath that you showed my children. It's not like the evil that you expressed in your tormenting of my children. No, no, no. It's a wrath that's not quantifiable. It's a wrath that's unlike anything imaginable. It's a wrath that will show you no mercy, even from the attribute of mercy. And when the wrath comes, it's not only you that you will know. It's not only the enemies of ama will know. All of creation will know. The mountains will shake. Rocks will shatter. [snorts] Fire will seem like something cold to you in comparison to the wrath that a kadeshb will bring upon the enemies of Islam. all of their dreams, all of their c celebrations will be erased so quickly as if it never existed and that wrath will never end. And he says misfortune will not arise twice. Meaning that unlike an army or a country that has lots of power and fights their enemies, but usually they don't annihilate them. Usually like here they fight the enemy, the enemy attacks them, they fight the enemy, but they leave them. They're still alive. The enemy even after the fight. Okay, you hit them. You destroyed some buildings, but the enemy is still alive. Shem says, "I'm not like that. I have patience and wait and wait and wait years. I can wait lifetimes. But when that wrath eventually comes, there will be nothing remaining that will have to be that another wrath will have to come." And this we see that who did exactly that to all of the enemies of the Jewish people who happened to always be the most powerful nations in the world. The Assyrians, the Babylonians were much more powerful than the United States or China or Russia is today. While those countries are powerful today with great weapons, they only have control of a part of the world. These other nations had complete control over the world and annihilated them to simply become a memory in the books of the Torah because nobody else discusses them. Literally, they conquered the whole world. Each one of them they had such domination over the world especially in Babylon. So much so that told him through the pro to prophet Daniel that no one will have as much control of the world as him until Mashiach comes. Such was the domination that he had. But he literally disintegrated to nothing. when the wrath eventually came and the same will happen to all of the other enemies throughout history. all of the other enemies of Amis, the Romans, the Greeks, the Turks, Spaniards, Egyptians, Nazis. says, "When I bring the wrath upon them, it'll be enough that they will never be needed a second time." And of course, people will complain, why is God doing this to us? Why? Why? Says, the stupidity of man causes him to sin against me. goes against me. How? He targets my children as his prey. He goes against my Torah. He causes people to sin. He does all these horrible things and he thinks I'm because I don't react right away that I agree that I don't care. And then I punish him and he complains. Oh, why did God do this to me? What do you mean why did God? He wrote it in the says he is a jealous and vengeful God. Hashem is a vengeful and full of wrath. Hashem is vengeful to his adversaries and reserves hostility for his enemies. Anyone that truly understands and meditates over that verse, literally their should increase exponentially. To never even think about being the enemy of God, to never even think about violating any part of the Tawra for even a second. That shalom, Hashem would consider us his enemy even for half a second. All of those people say, "Oh, what do you think? God is a monster. He doesn't punish. He's loves everyone." So what? The Nave was a liar. All the prophets were liars. Bushen was a liar. How do you explain all these verses? The Nav tells you outright, "Hashem is a jealous and vengeful God. Hashem is a vengeful and full of wrath. Hashem is vengeful to his adversaries and reserves hostility for his enemies. Hashem is slow to anger, but he has great power and he will not absolve iniquity and on and on and on and it continues. Of course, chapter 2 of the prophet Nakum talks about the wonderful day where celebration why Mashia arrived. Mashiach arrived. We await that day the climatic point of this world since its creation. But at the same time, we pray that allows us and however way he wants it to to bring as many of his children back as possible. So more of us can celebrate that big day to sanctify his name. And more of us can celebrate that day when one of the rewards that we're going to get is seeing with our own eyes the wrath of God on its adversaries on the enemies of the Jewish people. One of the benefits will be to see the wrath of on all of these enemies. Whether they protested against Israel, whether they were desecrating the Torah, whether they were killing, whatever they were doing, they're an adversary of the Jewish people, their adversary of Hashem. the wrath will ultimately come and when it comes no one will be there to save you. May it be his will that we will merit to always be on the good side of to serve him to honor him to sanctify his name. And may it be his will that we also merit to see his wrath upon all of his enemies. All of those that use his name for the wrong reason, all of those that desecrate his Torah. And this too will be very soon. With that being said, I'll see if there's a couple of critical questions you guys may have and then we'll call it the week. Benu was like a stolen baby. Incorrect. Alenu was raised by his mother. Was raised by his mother for the first few years of his life. He knew he was a Jew from day one. Prophecy of Zechariah consider the plague of sin or sin in a form of nuclear chemical. I honestly don't understand what you're saying. I mean the prophecy over there talks about a nuclear war, a chemical war. So, I'm not sure what you're talking about as far as the sin part, but it's talking about an actual war. They'll have weapons of mass destruction. Is Mashiach a whole concept or is he going to be a real person, flesh and blood? Of course, Mashiah Bened, he's not only going to be a real person. He's going to be a someone that has direct uh descendancy from King David. Yes. Flesh and blood person that's born of a woman, has parents, lived a regular normal life, a uh and uh Shem decides that he's Mashiach. See? Okay, that's it. All right. Okay. Thank you very much for learning with me. Maybu bless you with a very successful rest of the week. Enjoy your Shabbat. Honor the Shabbat. sanctify name on Shabbat. Doit before and during Shabbat. It's a good day to give before Shabbat. Uh so for anyone that uh hasn't given or can give more, please contribute as much as you can to one of our campaigns to organization. Uh, and of course, those of you that have working hands and legs and live in the Jewish community, get yourself some USBs and some of our books in the Kiru store, go to bhkq.org. They're free. Uh, and uh, give them out in your community to help more and more people do chuva before the uh, last stop on this train uh, is uh, is done. You know, we don't know how much time we have. It could be a short period of time. It could be a little longer period of time, but either way, we know that uh we need to do as much as we possibly can to save as many people as possible by telling them the truth about the Torah, not pacifying them, not trying to lie to them, and not trying to uh simply decide for them either of what they can and they or they can't handle. Give the truth to Yakov. Who's Jacob? That's in the exile. Anytime that kadosh is referring to Israel as Yakov, that's Israel in the exile. In the when Mashiah comes, it's going to be Israel. But for now, we're called Yakov when we're in the exile. You're in the exile. Whether you live in America, Australia, England, or even if you live in Israel, cuz right now we're in the exile because we're under the rulership of other nations. When Mashiah comes, there's not going to be any rules of other nations. It's just going to be the rules of and this will happen soon. But also you will do whatever you can to help do so they can also be part of this great and awesome day of God. [music] Sh is [music] Is [music] anymore? Israel to Heat. Heat. [music]
